Construction properties of wood taken into consideration in engineering practice.

The paper shows in a synthetic way tabular catalogue of over 70 construction properties of wood. They were divided according to following properties: (1) physical, strength and acoustical, (2) technological, (3) exploational, (4) thermic, electrical and other physical, (5) economic. The conclusion states that all properties of wood are investigated taking into consideration its anisotropic structure which results in majority of them being decomposed into three components. In the consequence there are 200 unique construction properties which are different for each kind of wood.
